As of chapter 220
I have to say I can’t recommend this novel. I enjoyed the earlier chapters and thought the author would develop and flesh out the world. Even the FL disappears for over a hundred chapters and multiple new FL candidates introduced and discarded relatively quickly. By the 160 chapters, the novel’s plot feels more like a runaway train. At this point I have no faith that it will be brought back to a satisfying pace or even a conclusion.
As of chapter 220, the entire power/cultivation system is such a mess that I doubt the translator knows how the realms go. If this was a power level or fantasy novel it wouldn’t be a big issue but by the 150s it’s truly hard to judge even the enemies due to losing all sense of how strong anyone really is except for the all mighty sword master. Making it worse is when alternate cultivation systems show up, without even clear distinctions between them and not comparing with what the readers have been told about the system the MC uses. What you get is a fragmented mess of terms and realms without comparisons, you might as well compare the power of Pokémon and Digimon directly without any context or support.
It’s such a mess that I’ve stopped championing the novel in the hopes of explanations or plot to settle down to a recognizable level. I could continue but honestly it just makes me sad to see what could be a great novel implode with such bad pacing/power.
